Rewilding the Soul: A Journey with Animal Spirits

Throughout history, humans and animals have shared a deep and sacred bond – one rooted in respect, reciprocity, and reverence. Our ancestors knew that animals were not just companions in the physical world, but powerful spiritual allies. They worked closely with Animal Spirits, listening for their guidance, drawing on their strength, and walking in step with the wisdom of their ways.

In this six-day immersive training, we will reconnect with this ancient practice. Through shamanic journeys, ceremony, and embodied experience, we’ll explore how to build relationships with the spirits of animals – not only as individuals, but as guardians of place, kin of landscape, and keepers of ancestral memory. We’ll attune to the power of the pack, the heart of the hive, and the deep intelligence of the wild – unlocking their teachings to support our own growth, resilience, and reconnection.

Together, we will dive into key aspects of animal shamanic practice, including:

🦅 Exploring animal powers – how to access and work with them for insight and support.

🐺 Totemic connections – deepening our relationship with animal kin and embracing self-healing with compassion.

🦊 Shapeshifting and transformation – experiencing the power and wisdom of animal spirits through mystical union.

🦉 Animal healing practices – including Animal Soul Retrieval, Animal Extraction Medicine, and Animal Psychopomp.

🐍 Ceremony, dance and ritual – honouring animal spirits through movement and sacred practice.

This training will help you bring this ancient wisdom into modern life, awakening your primal senses and deepening your connection to the natural world.

    “It’s often said that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Well, Richard has appeared and reappeared multiple times and in multiple ways as I, tentatively at first and more confidently now thanks to him, follow my shamanic path. Beyond the truly transformational space and Work he has facilitated on my behalf, Richard has been a mentor and friend, going above and beyond. What one wants and what one actually needs to break free of old outdated patterns can be worlds apart. Richard has the uncanny ability to help you discern the difference, penetrate your blind spots, and invite the power within to emerge fully so that you can meet the Work and life authentically. A masterful teacher, professional to a T, Richard casts a watchful, caring eye from near and far—even when you don’t realise it. This is deep Work, and I’m deeply grateful to Richard for continuing to create comprehensive environments for both professional development and personal growth.”
